AX8 Vet

The Acclarix AX8 VET has been designed from the ground up with a relentless focus on delivering unexpected levels of innovation and performance at a price point that is equally surprising. Within itssleek footprint, the AX8 VET contains a fully featured, diagnostic ultrasound platform with advanced imaging modes, gesture control dual touch screens and a full suite of transducer all tailored to meet the specific needs of veterinarians.

Spatial Compounding combines several different component images to display an image with improved quality. In addition to the image formed by transmitting ultrasonic waves directly away from the transducer, images are formed with waves that have been electronically steered at an angle away from the transducer. Different degrees of steering can be used to produce multiple, different images.
The speckle in these component images will be different because of the electronic steering, but macroscopic variation – like the brightness variation caused by a liver lesion – will be shared between the component images. By combining the images, the speckle noise is reduced while the image contrast is enhanced.
